Anonymous As a collector of high end autos I am troubled by this story. I wonder how deep this problem runs? It seems like cut autos from checks are a better bet, however they are harder and harder to find due to most sitting in private collections.
Like any other business, if the cost of the autograph is low then the profit is more for Upper Deck. Why spend 5K on a Babe Ruth when you can get a suspect one for $500.
I can't believe the hobby is willing to overlook this issue. Isn't the coveted prize of every person who busts a box or two a rare autograph or cut autograph??!
Always felt autographs on Upper Deck cards were legit, now I will have to wonder all the way back to 2001 when this trend started.
